Cognitive therapeutic techniques include self-monitoring of thoughts, feelings, and behavior and cognitive restructuring, aimed at modifying anxiety-related thought content and processes to produce changes in anxiety symptoms (Kendall 2000).
Thus, the results of this study suggest that effects of 5-HT1A receptor agonist/antagonist can modify anxiety level in opposite direction in male rats after gonadectomy.
Aim: Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to further examine strain, sex, and age differences in animals from different breeders in combination with pharmacological treatment designed to modify anxiety.
Overexpression of ΔGR in the DG seems to modify anxiety-related behavior in a specific way.
Our results indicate that the selective activation of GR in glutamatergic neurons of the DG is a sufficient condition to modify anxiety-related behaviors, as measured by EPM, emergence and forced swim tests.
D1 receptor agonist, SKF-38393, failed to modify anxiety-like behavior in OVX rats in BWM.
To assess the factorial structure and construct validity for the Chinese version of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS).
The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) [ 20] was developed to improve the psychometrics and content validity of the original DAS.
The design and subsequent development work with the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale has attempted to address this concern.
Previous work with the Spanish Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) yielded good validity, but lower test-retest reliability.
Hence the overall aim of the present study was to assess the factorial structure and construct validity for the Chinese version of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS).
